The Rising Divorce Rates: Tips for a Successful Marriage | EPIC Masjid | Na'ima B. Robert

MashaAllah. May Allah make it easy for us to see that life is just life, there's a better (Jannah) and make us work towards getting there

Sister naima... I havent heard anyone as eloquent as you . May Allah bless you..

Thankyou for ghis beautiful nasihah..

Truly it wasn't just a speech.. you were being heard.

Inspiring talk!!

I wish more people would take pre marital coaching- understanding what you are going into with an outsider who has been married more than 20 years will give perspective

Assalamualaikum, I am a female college student who has fallen in love with a man and has shared this with my family, hoping to get married soon. Unfortunately, his parents are opposed to our union, citing concerns that it will harm his career and academic future. Please advise us on how to proceed.

I’m only half way through but I already saved this video so I can keep coming back to it and share it with all my sisters. Wonderful talk, Great advice and delivery. Jzaki Allah khair.

Unfortunately as a ummah we have adopted western values and ways of life. Our point of reference in way of our marriages is often no longer the example of our prophet salalaahu alayhi wa Salam instead it’s what we see in social media. We live in a throw away society where we have no patience to work on anything but throw it away at the first sign of difficulty. Allahu musta’aan. We also have to know what is the Islamic rights of men and women in way of marriage as often many marriages fall into difficulty when the rights of either party are oppressed. We have lost our way. Marriage is half of our deen yet we do not behave as though it is. We do not want to invest in the very thing that can take us to Jannah yet spend more time investing in things that have far less value. Yes marriage is not easy but imho anything worth having is not necessarily easy but worth the investment. May Allah azza wa jal guide us all. Ameen.

But what if your spouse cheats on you? multiple times? you didn't talk about that

I find it bizarre she's preaching reading the seerah and following the sunnah while giving an islamic lecture to a mixed congregation

Alhumdulillah. Very good reminder. Allah bless our sister and her family. Love you for the sake of Allah. Jazakallah u khaira. Umme nabeel. Mumbai India.

Great to see Sr. Naima touring the US. She has a lot of positive and humbling thoughts to share.

Hugs n more hugs, sister! May this msg reach every young family, inspire all who listen, and protect us from social media aameen.

What were the tips? Be grateful for your spouse is what I got

jazakAllah sister

Masha'allah tabarak'allah

Second day and still cannot complete the video. Need to pause.. think... reflect and soak myself into every word.

Ma sha Allah! Very beautiful and inspiring Bayaan, sister. One feedback I have is it would be really helpful if we have these kind of beautiful and awakening bayaans in Urdu as well as majority of our respected elders especially from India/Pakistan won’t speak or understand English and would really love this and this will help such messages to spread out to wider audience. Jazak Allahu Khairan!

Alhumdullilah May Allah bless you and your children. May Allah help us follow the guidance of our seera and beautiful reminders from you.

The grass is always greener on the other side BECAUSE there's plenty of thunderstorms!

The lack of gratitude hits you when expectations are not met. It's hard but the sister is right you should say alhamdulillah, but like I said it's hard.

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
masha Allah, Jazak Allah Khair this was an immense blessing to hear these reminders. masha Allah, everything that was said was so true and understandable. I could truly hear what you were saying and Listen. Al hamdulillah, I said "awe man it's a 50 minute video". Al hamdulillah, those 50 minutes were very well spent.

So according to your talk their should never be a divorce

Mashallah

Brilliant

Great lecture, agreed that no one is perfect but no one should be staying in a marriage where lies, abuse and deceits are a daily occurrence. God Knows best.

Too many following kufr life style, you're not here for the American dream and face book life.

Sobbing like a baby for the first 15min

Jazakallah hu khairan katheera sister that's a beautiful lecture. I have a request to make to u please make another request to the mothers with daughters, that they should be careful when they get their vengeance out, for their husband's, in front of their daughter's. A lot of mothers teach their daughter's this, "what I had to go through in life u shouldn't, u need to fight", they unfortunately don't realize they are ruining the lifes of their children. Same with mother's with son's, son's are told to keep her in control, starting from the wedding night, which is pathetic.
May Allah bless u my sister u've spoken the whole truth. Alhamdulilah

Great to see Sr. Naima nice speaker olso

Its a mega beautiful and beneficial lecture Ma sha Allah..

JzkAllahu khayran

There’s no tips to a successful marriage, the only marriage lasts is the one when the man himself wants to be kept by her if not he will either cheat or abuse you.!

Marsa ALLAH..May ALLAH bless u sister n protect u n your family.

Ameen

Many people are abusive or the in laws are abusive (no fear of god) this is why many people divorce. Beautiful story nonetheless

Amazing and powerful. GRATITUDE

My husband of 15 years bought a car for his second wife, same as mine. I was upset why didn’t he inform me before hand, so I told my neighbour what to do, so she said to him I must be like a bug that crawls on the wall so I should not talk to him and just blank him, I listened to her and didn’t talk to him. Two months later he said I am divorced. Two days after the divorce my neighbour flew to her country to her husband. If you asked me I will give a hand and a leg just not to see my kids tears and sadness. Sisters have patience don’t discuss your affair except with a reliable Alim or an Alima. Allah knows best.

Allah has given her a talent of storytelling and teaching. MashaAllah TabarakaAllah. Thank you sister for using your gifts to remind us of our deen.

Don't ever deny me the fact, that my greatest enemy has got cold feet, then and only then, can you be as racist as you like, file for as many divorces as you like. 😁

I give you your flowers, Naima Robert, you deserve them, Walahi. Jazak Allahu Khairan sis ❤❤

I make shukar Alhumdullillah everyday for my wonderful Husband and kids Subhanallah 💕
So many of my friends dnt have this barakah in thr marriages sad 😔 but true

Stress together and build ❤️
Struggle together and always remember thrs others out thr having a tough time

Divorces are more common now because women want them. They don't put up with nonsense anymore and they're financially independent, alhamdulillah

MashaALLAH sister we have the same name just I have a h at the end (Na’imah) 🥹🥰🥰 Allhumdulilah
